2023 Range Rover Sport

Welcome to the artistic landscapes, vintage tapas cuisine, cultural energy, and trendy fashion of Madrid, the Spanish capital known for its constellation of renaissance and contemporary art, elegant boulevards, and expansive royal landmarks. Whether you are visiting the historic city with family, friends, or a spouse, make sure to do so with keys in hand to an all-new 2023 Range Rover Sport. Likewise, my memorable time here was constituted by a global test drive experience of the newfangled British SUV while seeking out passionate activities to fulfill my adventurous spirit.

Embarking from Virginia, the journey transitioned from Washington Dulles International Airport to Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport through a direct 6.5-hour business class flight on United Airlines. After landing in the morning, please make your way into Centro Madrid in the back seat of the New Range Rover Sport luxury chariot and its plush cabin. The mobile lounge will softly sound you to sleep for a 45-minute nap before arriving at The Madrid EDITION, your innovatively-designed hotel accommodations during the European vacation. Before checking in, take a quick walking tour to enjoy the lively scenes and local energy to increase blood flow after the long flight. Next, seek a café for tea, fruit, and pastries while admiring Madrid’s sunny blue skies, eclectic neighborhoods, and historic buildings. Afterward, your beautifully-appointed apartment-styled suite will be ready to refresh, rest, and regroup.

Wake up to the vivacious echos of Spanish conversations and laughter, which will entice you to join the fanfare as you walk through one of the city’s most famous sites, Puerta de Sol, a busy and scenic square in the heart of the Spanish capital. Shopping is omnipresent, as well as restaurants, pubs, and lounges as you prepare for the next day of exploration. Of course the nightlife is active almost every evening, therefore be sure to conserve energy. Next, head to Casa de Valencia to satisfy your soul with the symbolic and authentic Valencian rice dish paella. Oh wow, you will eat until the sun rises if given a chance!

After a deep sleep, wake up revitalized for your drive to the countryside in the 2023 Range Rover Sport First Edition P530 V8, the lynchpin of four powertrain choices for the stately SUV. But first, hit the state-of-the-art gym for an immersive physical workout since it features every piece of equipment required to complete rejuvenation. Next up is drive time. Land Rover is proud of its dynamic British aesthetics and design philosophies thanks to the genius of Chief Creative Officer Gerry McGovern, who embodied the new Sport with intelligent controls, technological aggression, modish materials, and sustainable Ultrafabrics. En route to Soto de Mozanaque in Alcobendas, Madrid, my drive partner and I chose a Firenze Red Range Rover Sport First Edition glorified by a contrasting black roof and imperial 23” 10-spoke Gloss Black rims. Tucked in 285/45 R23 Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires, the larger co-engineered rubber keeps the vehicle grounded and fills up the wheel wells nicely for greater definition. The A-pillar, window frames, grille, badges, rear diffuser, and tailgate spoiler are also blacked out.

The SUV is enthusiastically agile, powerful, and ultra-quiet inside and out until you floor it as the seductive growl emanating from the quad pipes takes precedence. With a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbo engine and 523-horsepower, 4.3-second 0-to-60 mph acceleration is immediately at your disposal from every gear of the 8-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, the picturesque roads outside the city were dignified by the First Edition’s All-Wheel Steering, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive, Dynamic Launch Mode, Dynamic Air Suspension, Dynamics Response Pro, and an Electric Active Differential. Essentially, it felt like the Range Rover Sport was piloting itself.

Upon arrival to the majestic lands and countryside retreat of Soto de Mozanaque, owned by the Duke of Alburuqrque D. Juan Miguel Osorio Bertrán de Lis., we relaxed, inhaled the purified rural air, and ate a delectable vegano lunch. Visions of freeness came to mind while admiring the postcard panoramas of the garden and manicured lawn. With roots dating back to 1731, the wedding and corporate event space was originally built as a pleasure palace and hunting lodge. Its Soto Mozanaque golf course is equally lobbying to become a Rider Cup location. While here, media guests could reveal the exalted interior of the Range Rover Sport First Edition, which features reductive design pieces, a 29-speaker 1,430-watt Meridian Signature audio system, 22-way adjustable and massaging seats, forged carbon fiber trim, and a middle console cooler. Advanced tech is provided by a Cabin Air Purification Pro (CAPP), the dramatically improved 13.1” in-house engineered Pivi Pro Infotainment system, 3D Surround Camera, a ClearSight rearview mirror, and 60 Software-Over-The-Air (SOTA) updates. SOTA should alleviate some of the previous Land Rover quality issues and save owners from visiting a dealership. CAPP minimizes odors, bacteria, and allergens such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus utilizing PM2.5 filtration and nanoe X technology.

Once a few hours of meditation passed, our next leg directed us towards Madrid’s famed Golden Triangle of Art, such as the renowned Museo Del Prado (Prado Museum), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Reina Sofía National Art Centre), and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum). My focus was Prado since it’s regarded as one of the best in the world for original paintings. The museum director set up a private tour for us to witness the magical illustrations of Francisco José de Goya, the highly-regarded Spanish romantic and prolific printmaker. Another collector’s item on display is the Adoration of the Magi by Hans Memling. Painted around 1479, Prado Museum acquired the oil on panel triptych in 1847. My time here was full of cultural expressions through these pristine art pieces. As well, the Prado Museum’s restoration lab highlights and corrects original works dating from 1881 when Picasso was born.

After a long and fascinating day it was time to return to the white-themed décor of The Madrid EDITION for a tranquil spa treatment, decompression in my fabulous suite, and socializing in the urbane lobby before venturing to dinner at Restaurante Amazonico. This Amazon-themed establishment was buzzing with vitality from the spirited hosts, upbeat DJ, and delicious Asian, Mediterranean, and Brazilian dishes. Our small group had a wonderful evening that flew by quickly due to the vibrant atmosphere. I believe I spent more time dancing in my seat than I did eating. And yes, I patiently awaited another night of beauty sleep in my quarters. The following day, rise to a wonderful Spanish breakfast before a morning walk to integrate with locals as they hustle to work. Then pull up a table at any of the hundreds of cafes at your disposal to people watch.

For the remainder of my stay, I focused on inner city happenings while cruising the Madrid streets and heading an hour North of Madrid to off-road around the grounds of Hotel Caserío Aldeallana in a 2023 Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE P400. The boutique hacienda features hundreds of acres, a courtyard, a chapel, and a historical 5-bedroom home to go along with the quaint guest rooms for those looking for weekend getaways with Mother Nature. I didn’t visit the property overnight, but I went for lunch and to witness the all-terrain capabilities of the Range Rover Sport. The plug-in hybrid features a 3-liter V6 engine with 434-horsepower and an electric motor good for 48 EPA-estimated electric miles. A full electric Range Rover is coming in 2024.

“The exceptional New Range Rover Sport sets new standards as the ultimate sporting luxury SUV, building on seventeen years of unique customer appeal,” said Thierry Bolloré, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover. “It is the latest embodiment of our vision to create the world’s most desirable modern luxury vehicles, effortlessly blending new levels of sustainability with the signature qualities that have made Range Rover Sport so popular.”

The PHEV derivative — riding on road tires — had no qualms traversing through deep trenches, around boulders, up steep hills, and descending as the SUV crept down slopes without the need for the driver to brake. We also demonstrated the capabilities of the new Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control and All-Wheel Steering with 7.3-degrees of rear turning to showcase the SUV’s nimbleness. Vivid cameras show actual views so you can position the Rover properly during specific maneuvers and Adaptive Dynamics and Terrain Response 2 adjust the vehicle to various road surfaces and conditions depending on its needs. Finally, after soiling the Rover with dirt and mud it was time to return to the city with Sport mode engaged to manipulate the ZF transmission utilizing the paddle shifters.

We headed to the Mercado de San Miguel back in town for various delicacies. Spanish gastronomy is presented in the historic building housing the food market through 20 stalls delivering tastes from all over Spain from Galicia to the Basque Country. Before leaving Madrid I similarly visited a theatre show, passed through one of an array of local parks, enthusiastically shopped including an outing to timepiece retailer Antigua Relojeria SA, and celebrated American Football wins at Sports Pub Madrid.

Starting at $83,000 in the US, the 2023 Range Rover Sport presents its loyal following with sophisticated luxury, electrifying power, focused refinement, and seamless technology. And what better way to nomadically explore the beauty of Madrid, Spain than with Britain’s most refined next-level SUV? It’s quite fitting for all of your exploratory endeavors. Therefore, build the newest member of your family HERE.

Tambour Slim Monogram Dentelle

New to the scene is the ultra elegant and feminine Louis Vuitton Tambour Slim Monogram Dentelle. And, as first introduced earlier this month on acclaimed actor and director, Bradley Cooper, the Tambour Watch’s Twentieth Anniversary is commemorated by the limited edition of 200 pieces, and a custom-made trunk in Monogram canvas.

Adorned with white mother-of-pearl in 2019, the Tambour Slim makes a comeback this year in a sophisticated, new iteration. This timeless, refined model pays tribute to the iconic Monogram flower, as first fashioned by Georges Louis Vuitton in 1896. Encrusted with brilliant-cut diamonds, the silvery blossoms sparkle subtly on the black-lacquered dial.

Enlightened by a diamond-set bezel, this feminine collection is available in two different diameters, 28 and 33 mm. It is equipped with a quartz movement and the innovative, Louis Vuitton-patented system of interchangeable straps, making it possible to infinitely customize the watch, by choosing from a selection of over one hundred different designs. Offering two white mother-of-pearl versions, this collection is enriched with black lacquer dials with stunning silver accents, and is set with diamonds. The dial is devoid of hour markers to accentuate the sophistication and femininity of the timepiece. Playing with contrasts, this watch is magnified with a diamond-set bezel: a creation defined by femininity and elegance. Other features include an interchangeable black alligator strap fitted with Louis Vuitton’s patented system, 50 Meters of water resistance, an ardillon buckle, and a stainless steel case.

CORNELLIAN TURNED COMEDIAN

Listen to Social Media Sensation Tyler Regan and fellow Cornell alum Vaughn Lowery chat on 360 MAG Apple / Spotify podcast HERE.

Breakout Comedian and TikTok Star Tyler Regan‘s one man skits have amassed over half a billion views

Tyler Regan‘s one-man-show of comedic brilliance coupled with naturalistic writing skills has amassed him a sort of cult-like following with 1.4 million TikTok followers and over 2 million followers across all his social media platforms. His comedy-centric content now has over half a billion cumulative views with topics ranging from office etiquette to Karens.

Although the Cornell University alum has been creating videos since 2017, he’s best known for his solid mix of commentary on politics and current events and clever representation of awkward everyday life experiences. “Finding your voice is a journey,” Tyler says, “… And it wasn’t until the pandemic forced my content to become a one-man show that I truly found mine.”

Having grown up on a steady diet of Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Monty Python and Robin Williams, Tyler fell into the comedy profession by accident, quite literally. The realism in his subject matter and deadpan delivery was honed, in part by the misfortune of a college soccer sports injury. He understood how to identify and distill the humorous elements of everyday life to tell relevant stories because, as Robin Williams says, “Comedy can be a cathartic way to deal with personal trauma.”

The Philly native is currently filming social media content from a vintage 1976 Airstream while on a cross country trip with his girlfriend but when he returns to Los Angeles, he will continue to parlay his online fame into off-line opportunities that encompass collaborative creative writing for film/tv, as well as other multimedia projects.

Pursuing his comedy dreams in the face of despair, Tyler has the potential to occupy a place in America’s cultural heart.

ABOUT TYLER REGAN

For Tyler Regan, a career in comedy was not on his radar. He spent his adolescent and young adult years in Philadelphia tirelessly preparing to become a professional soccer player. However, at the dawn of his childhood vision becoming a reality, he suffered a devastating ankle injury that forced him into premature retirement.

In 2015, Tyler pursued a master’s degree in engineering from Drexel University and settled into an assistant project manager position. Tyler’s then girlfriend was a content creator who encouraged him to craft and post comical videos to his social media platform. He looked at the opportunity as an outlet to escape the boredom of his 9-to-5 and be his authentically weird self. It wasn’t long before his brand of humor attracted an audience and took on a life of its own, which prompted a move to Los Angeles in 2017 but imposter syndrome set in. While he always had an interest in the film/tv industry, even enrolling in film classes that lead to him composing an original screenplay he submitted to a film festival in his early teens and graduating from Cornell with a BA in media studies.

Once in Hollywood, Tyler continued to put in work by posting daily videos of witty skits alongside actors to his YouTube channel. His dedication and consistency boosted his popularity and kept his subscribers eagerly tuned in for 2 years but he still hadn’t found his niche. And then the pandemic hit. The digital entertainer used the lockdown to pivot to TikTok and build the kind of content he wanted to make with the confidence that his tribe would gravitate towards him.

DIESEL – SPRING/SUMMER 2023

WATCH THE SHOW NOW.

The Diesel democracy: denim, utility, pop and play, debuting in front of an audience of nearly 5,000. Experimentation for everybody, energy that’s inclusive; this 21st century Diesel reboot has only just begun. It’s a show that breaks a Guinness World Record: at the heart of the runway is the world’s largest ever inflatable sculpture.

“I wanted to open Diesel up to the public, for people who may never have been to a fashion show before. They deserve a spectacle, so we’ve broken the record for the biggest inflatable sculpture in the world. It’s what I believe about the fashion and the state of mind – everybody can be part of Diesel,” says Glenn Martens, creative director of Diesel.

Democratic fashion is everything, with experimentation and subversion for every single day. Denim devoré is created by weaving denim onto a transparent base, like the devoré corset waist of low-slung denim pants. The effect is also created with denim knits, while part-solarised denim is like it’s been left out in years of hot summer sun.

Denim is roughly embroidered with a layer of tulle that’s then torn, while totally distressed denim is held by stitching lines and a sheer lining to bring control to the destruction.

There’s also denim that’s been bonded with a layer of cotton then acid washed, revealing the denim once more. Scans of distressed denim have been taken to create second-skin trompe-l’oeil prints, while many pieces throughout the collection are trimmed with raw denim for pure Diesel energy.

Utility pants with supersized pockets are solarised for attitude, satin cargo pants are future perfect, while little fluid tops are held by wide utility belts. Nylon utility jackets and flying pants have cotton layers that are then cut away; dresses and pants are made from organza layers which are then cut open; double-layer printed T-shirts have smiley holes cut into the top layer to reveal the print beneath.

Acid floral slip dresses are trimmed with lace, as are tank minidresses with frill at the neck and arm. Vivid knits are coated then cracked open, like metallic pop dresses, or sleeveless vests fastened by hook-and-eye. Plasticised denim is waterproofed like jelly, creases left intentionally undyed, and metallic printed coats are like a city reflected in chrome.

Bonded leather jackets are cut with raw edges. Diesel Library denim pieces are bonded and encased in layers of rough-cut denim. Artisanal denim pieces are cut and distressed as if the denim is turning into fur; an artisanal coat is made entirely from over 15,000 distressed and brushed Diesel labels.

Slip-on denim heels have utility pockets to make going out easy. Strappy sandals have sporty soles, while patent boots are finished with a metallic D. Men’s flip-flops are moulded, while Prototype sneakers are cut open for summer. 1DR bags are medium or micro, while D-vina bags are tricked out with sparkling charms, or reimagined with a moulded D.

This season’s Diesel Eyewear collection is a special collaboration with EssilorLuxottica, launching exclusively through Diesel networks in February 2023. Each style, from aviator to wraparound, has colour edging and metallic temples finishing on a perfect D. One limited edition model has been exclusively developed for Diesel Runway and only 55 units will be immediately available through preorder on diesel.com with delivery in November 2022.

Show Facts:

– Guinness World Records have confirmed that the specially designed set has broken the record for the Largest Inflatable Sculpture.

– A capacity crowd of 4,800, with over 3,000 members of the public attending for free.

– When the public tickets went online on 1 September, they were gone in 90 minutes.

– 70% of the public tickets went to 18-25 year olds. – As well as the public, 1,600 fashion students from Milan were given free tickets.

– Also attending are NFT collectors, who received a free ticket with the purchase of their AW22 runway NFTs.

– Every single guest to the show will receive a commemorative NFT.

– The show, which marks the start of Milan Fashion Week, is held at the Allianz Cloud Arena under the patronage of the Municipality of Milan.

Am I Using a Good Trading App?

Amongst the most common ways to put money into an investment is through trading stocks. You can purchase a specific proportion of a firm and gain a profit without needing to do anything other than buy shares in the company.

It goes without saying that those who invest large sums and obtain a controlling stake are members of the boards of directors and therefore are participating in the procedure of decision-making; nevertheless, in order to accomplish this goal, you will need a significant amount of capital.

Apps for trading stocks have seen a surge in popularity in recent years due to the fact that they enable users to track the most recent market developments effectively and make stock investments with only a few taps required on a touchscreen interface.

Having said all of that, we wanted to make sure that you have access to some general pointers that will assist you in selecting the most suitable trading software. Let’s go ahead and investigate them.

How We Rate Stock Apps

Before we go through what makes stock apps good for trading, it is essential that you do some independent research before making a choice. Because no two service providers are identical, doing so will guarantee that the stock application you choose is suitable for the individual investing objectives you have set for yourself.

Before installing a new software for stock trading, we would advise thinking about the following points.

Regulation

It is no secret that the regulatory standing of the broker is the initial and most crucial measure that you have to verify; in fact, it is the only metric that even matters. The particular governing organisation that issues licences, on the other hand, will be determined by your location.

Traders in the United Kingdom and Europe, for instance, will often fall under the purview of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or CySEC, but in the United States, this responsibility falls to the SEC as well as FINRA.

It is imperative that you steer clear of the stock application of your choice at all costs if it is not governed by a tier-one licensing organisation that is applicable to your region.

User Experience

The greatest stock investment applications are those that are custom-built for the operating system of your particular mobile device. Users of Windows and Blackberry operating systems are likely to be dissatisfied because this feature will only be available on Android and iOS smartphones in the great majority of instances.

Despite this, you should investigate how simple the smartphone app is to use because different apps have varying degrees of complexity and some are better suited for novices than others. It is vitally important that you should not be hampered in your ability to travel through into the stock libraries and make a purchase by a screen that is of a smaller size.

Stocks that can be Traded

You can now gain access to a diverse range of international equities with some of the greatest stock market applications of 2022. However, this is not always the case, and before creating an account, you should check to see which markets the application covers.

Trading platforms such as for instance, provide users access to tens of thousands of equities that are traded on a variety of stock exchanges. Additionally, you need to investigate whether the stock software you choose enables conventional share ownership or contracts for difference (CFDs).

Fees

The days of having to pay fees to trade stocks are rapidly drawing to a close and will be gone very soon. This is one reason why modern platforms are gaining popularity among the next age of stock investors. When you buy stocks, brokers will typically charge one of two types of fees: a fixed cost and a variable fee.

If they do, you are going to be charged for this at both ends of the trade, which means that you will be required to pay a cost when you invest in stocks as well as another fee when you trade them. On the other hand, the finest stock market applications, such as the ones we’ve examined, do not charge any sort of trading fees.

Overnight Financing and Spread

Even if there are a number of commission-free stock trading apps from which to choose, you still need to be aware of the spread. This is just the distinction between the cost at which a stock can be purchased and the price at which it can be sold.

The difference in prices is referred to as the spread, and you are charged an indirect fee in order to gain access to the market. If you choose to trade stocks in the manner of CFDs, then you need to be aware of overnight financing options as well.

Research

Putting money into the stock market without first conducting adequate research carries the same level of inherent danger as placing bets on the outcome of a spin of the roulette in a casino.

Because of this, it is imperative that you select a stock app that provides you with access to tools for conducting fundamental research. The capability to establish price alerts and to get breaking news in real time are at the front of this development.

When it comes to conducting chart analysis, you will want to select the top stock app that provides you with access to various sketching tools as well as technical indicators. This is especially important to keep in mind if you intend to engage in stock CFD trading.

Education

If you are completely new to the scene of stocks and bonds, it is imperative that you start brushing up on basic investment knowledge as soon as possible. When it comes to this particular aspect, we give preference to stock investing applications that include educational content within the app itself.

For instance, certain apps will provide a plethora of tutorials, videos, and sometimes even webinars which can help you advance towards the next level in your trading expertise.

Sexism in Gaming Industry – How Bad is it?

Video game players and developers, especially women, frequently suffer sexism, which is prejudiced conduct or discrimination based on sex or gender. Sexual harassment or the portrayal of genders in video games, such as when characters adhere to gender-specific clichés and stereotypes, are examples of how this could appear.

Video game culture changed significantly during the 1980s and 1990s when it was once thought of as a subculture exclusive to young men. As of the 2010s, women make up roughly 50% of all gamers. However, by not punishing users who engage in this kind of behavior or by including sexist elements in their plots, several video games actively encourage instances of sexism against women.

People in the video games industry are now more aware of sexism as a result of the growing number of women in the gaming business and the subsequently publicized cases of harassment of these women.

Sexism in Video Games

The International Game Developers Association carried out a survey in 2014 that revealed some unprofessionalism women encountered in the game development industry. Women first noted defiance from male coworkers who were beneath them. The study also revealed that white men were preferred for executive jobs and throughout the whole hiring process.

According to a poll, female developers were not treated with respect in the industry and were instead subjected to inappropriate behavior by male coworkers, such as being tricked into going on dates.

Online video games can be host to extreme sexism towards women, with 65 percent of women reporting an instance of sexual harassment in this setting. Women receive three times as many offensive or derogatory comments from gamers as men do, which can be made anonymously by gamers.

Why is Sexism So Widespread in the Gaming Industry?

Well, there are a few things that need to be considered before we answer that question. According to researchers, playing video games has traditionally been associated with men. At least since the 1980s, when the industry experienced a financial depression, game developers have prioritized targeting men as their main market.

Even Esports participants are affected by the video game industry’s male orientation with only 1 out of 500 earning professionals being a woman. Although there is some evidence that this is starting to change, male dominance in the business and its focus on its male clientele have led to the creation of video games with few female characters and hyper-sexualization of those few that exist.

Is There a Light at the End of this Tunnel?

Some people have expressed optimism in response to the most recent allegations of sexism in the industry, theorizing that a tipping point may have been reached and that significant change is feasible. They find encouragement in the fact that recent events have not provoked the customary backlash but rather compassionate reactions, resignations, and promises of culture change from firm CEOs. As part of their efforts to change and reform, several businesses have employed diver officers and recruited high-priced consultants.

Women’s rights activists actively work to change how women are portrayed in video games and how the gaming community as a whole treats them. For instance, feminist frequency, a group founded by media critic Anita Sarkeesian, offers training and seminars to influence game culture and change it for good.

Gaming companies have also taken initiatives to maintain a safe and respectful workplace, including adopting standards and training programs. The French government proposed legislation in 2016 that would reward or incentivize video game developers for portraying more positive representations of female characters in their works, in an effort to combat sexism. These recommendations also lay out a rating system that separates games that support positive female representation from those that do not, with the latter receiving the highest age 18 rating.

Conclusion

Although we still have a long way to go in this battle against not only sexism but all kinds of discriminatory behavior in the online video game industry. It is safe to say that the fact that harassment is now being talked about is a big step forward. Whether the games industry has actually been able to transform and create better working conditions remains to be seen. But for the time being, it has made a start.

The Top Five European Music Festivals

Summer is prime time for lovers of live music. It’s festival season. It’s the perfect time to be outdoors in the sun, watching your favorite artists take to the stage to deliver one incredible performance after another.

Europe is one of the best places to come for music festivals. There are a plethora of events across the continent, with some of the best gigs in the world taking place here.

If you’re coming from outside the European Union and Schengen Area for a festival, make sure you get a visa, if necessary, as well as your ticket! If you’re from a visa-free country, just remember your passport. However, in the near future, the ETIAS will become mandatory for visa-exempt travelers. If that includes you, make sure to register online before going to Europe.

Mad Cool Festival

A recent addition to Europe’s roster of music festivals, Mad Cool launched in 2016. It has quickly become one of the biggest and most popular festivals on the continent.

Taking place in the Spanish capital of Madrid, Mad Cool features an eclectic mix of top artists from all genres. The 2022 edition saw Metallica, Florence + the Machine, The Killers, Jamie Cullum, Carly Rae Jepsen, Phoebe Bridgers, Twenty One Pilots, Jack White, and Pixies, among many others, take to the stage.

After a successful 5th anniversary in 2022, Mad Cool looks set to be a mainstay of Spanish summers for years to come.

It has been described as “Europe’s answer to Coachella” by the Independent and reviews have been very positive. Critics praised the design of the layout, which allows concertgoers to move from stage to stage quickly and easily to catch their favorite acts.

One possible downside is that there is no camping at Mad Cool, so you’ll have to sort out accommodation yourself and make your way to the festival grounds each day.

Tomorrowland

Often described as “the biggest electronic music show on Earth”, Tomorrowland is the party to end all parties. This massive event features a huge lineup of the biggest names in electronic music.

Tomorrowland takes place in July in the appropriately-named town of Boom in Belgium. The 2022 lineup features such talent as Martin Garrix, Eric Prydz, Armin van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Marshmello, Amelie Lens, Adam Beyer, and NERVO.

One of the unique and interesting features of Tomorrowland are the food areas. Like many festivals, there are many kinds of food on offer, from Indian to Greek to Italian. The big difference is that Tomorrowland 2022 featured a beautiful pavilion close to the Freedom Stage with a waterfall structure pouring from the ceiling.

Primavera Sound

The second Spanish festival to make the list, Primavera Sound is a classic. The legendary Barcelona-based festival offers a wide range of acts to enjoy in the summer sun by the glistening Mediterranean.

The 2022 lineup featured the likes of Massive Attack, The Strokes, Lorde, Dua Lipa, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Gorillaz, Tyler The Creator, Beck, and many, many more.

Primavera Sound is a must for any music festival lover and Barcelona is the perfect place in which to enjoy it.

That said, if you like camping in a field, that’s not an option here. The festival takes place in the city, so you’ll have to find accommodation separately.

NOS Alive

NOS Alive is one of Portugal’s biggest music festivals, and it’s not hard to see why! The Lisbon-based event has been picking consistently great lineups since it started back in 2007, and the Portuguese capital is a wonderfully vibrant city to host it.

You can expect an eclectic mixture of up-and-coming artists, current hit-makers, and all-time classic acts during this epic weekend in July.

2022 saw Imagine Dragons, Metallica, The Strokes, Da Weasel, Faith No More, Phoebe Bridgers, Royal Blood, Caribou, and many more names grace the Portuguese stage.

Glastonbury

Not just one of the biggest festivals in Europe, but one of the biggest on Earth. Glastonbury is the UK’s mecca of music; the pinnacle of Britain’s festival calendar. Brexit aside, you can’t make a list of Europe’s top 5 festivals without including Glastonbury!

The huge roster of acts feature some of the best in the world. 2022’s festival included everyone from Paul McCartney to Billie Eilish; from the Pet Shop Boys to Lorde. Kendrick Lamar, Robert Plant, Diana Ross, Elbow, Foals, Olivia Rodrigo, Fontaines D.C., and Primal Scream were among the many other names on the bill.

The only thing to watch out for is the weather. Glastonbury may be in the middle of June, but England is notorious unreliable for good weather and many past editions of the festival have been known for becoming mud baths due to the rain. Pack boots and wet weather gear just in case!

Elle Decor × Suzanne Dimma

KO Média is excited to unveil the Fall issue of ELLE Decoration Canada, featuring a glimpse of designer Suzanne Dimma’s eco-conscious cottage in Ontario’s Haliburton County. Accessible by water, Dimma’s refuge in the wild is a warm, uncomplicated, relaxed cocoon where nature is the main source of inspiration. “Creating a connection, a conversation with one’s surroundings, is of the utmost importance,” says the designer. With a focus on wood in all its glory, plus a palette of stone greys and sky blues, Dimma honors the notion of the summer cabin—once the final resting place of that old family sofa—into a new, stylish, year-round living space.

The Fall issue will also introduce readers to another great lover of nature, architect Maxime Frappier, who has rooted his family life in a minimalist glass home amid the forests of Lanaudière, Quebec. Further afield, in the outskirts of Milan, Dutch architect Geert Koster demonstrates how to combine solitude with socializing in a contemporary, sustainable home inspired by the region’s traditional stables. Also in Italy, artist and sculptor Othmar Prenner has crafted an Alpine cabin in the Lunga Valley whose unique design features have got to be seen to be believed.

In keeping with the theme of nature, this issue is an ode to wood in décor, art and home life. We deep-dive into West Coast sculptor Neshka Krusche, who gathers, cinges and shapes cedar logs to make stunning eco-driven art. Readers with kids will also enjoy our list of the latest, greatest and most handsome wooden toys, guaranteed to add natural flair to their rumpus rooms. We also discover a game-changing 1952 design with a spotlight on Danish designer Arne Jacobson’s Ant chair.

Finally, in décor we turn to two Canadian gallerists for tips on purchasing (and displaying) art, share our latest favourite Canadian lighting designs and catch up with experts in the carpet industry to get their opinions on the season’s most exciting underfoot looks. We also explore a new kind of online space for vintage design collecting.

The Fall issue of ELLE Decoration Canada will hit stands and Apple News+ on September 26, 2022.
